Covenant Biblical Counseling exists to provide biblically faithful, gospel-centered, personally caring, pastorally wise, and clinically competent Christian and professional counseling to Denton County, the surrounding areas, and beyond.
We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are trustworthy and sufficient guides concerning everything that has to do with eternal life and godliness. God's Word tells us everything we need for salvation, lasting comfort, soul transformation, and loving obedience to him (2 Tim. 3:15-17; Heb. 4:12; 2 Pet. 1:3-4); while the love and ministry of Christ provides for us true hope and peace (John 14:27; John 16:33; Matt. 11:28-30; Heb. 7:25; Heb. 10:23). All of this is ultimately accomplished by the redeeming power of the Holy Spirit and through our humble dependence upon him (Isa. 55:6-9; Jer. 29:13; Gal. 3:3).
CBC is therefore deeply committed to understanding, educating, and counseling with a view to read and apply the Scriptures with a proper distinction between Law and Gospel and their respective intentions in a person's life.
Where God's Word does not directly address a given issue, we desire to be well informed and wise, within the bounds of a biblical truth, sanctified consciences, and a theological psychology, according to God's common graces, providential rule, and natural revelation in creation (Romans 1:19-20; Romans 2:14-15; Psalm 19:1-3).
Our counselors are certified through the Association of Biblical Counselors (ABC) and generally work in accordance with their Mission and Beliefs statement. We are also in general agreement with the Confessional Statement of the Biblical Counseling Coalition (BCC) and the Model of Care articulated by the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF).

Many of us have been haunted by depression. The first resource I recommend someone struggling with depression is Ed Welch’s booklet. It is only 32 pages and thus can be read in one day. Even though it is short, it gets to the heart of the problem of depression as well as providing gospel solutions

Contemporary culture has a plurality of opinions of how to view human identity. For some, self-esteem is the ultimate virtue to achieve. The spirituality of many is that if they could only have a higher view of themselves then they would be happy. However, the Bible has better news. Tim Keller’s “The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness”
